IMPROVEMENT IN POCKET-LAMPS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters 'Patent and making part of the same To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Amos P. FosTEn and DANIEL B. H. BARTLETT, both of Lowell, in the county of Middlesex, and Stateof Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Pocket-Lamp and Match Combined; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the Figure 2 represents a side' elevation of the same,

with the cap removed.

Figure 3 represents a vertical section of the same. Similar lettersin the difl'ercnt figures indicate corresponding parts.

In the construction. of our improved device, A represents the lamp, which is provided at its top with a cap or cover, I), it' being screwed to the same, and when thus secured, forms a receptacle, 0, for the fluid or oil, which is air-tight.

' Projecting from the centre of this cap, b, is the tube d, through which the wick e-passes.

On the outside of this tube, d, is formed a screw, to which is secured the holder f, on which rests the chimney g.

' h is the match-case, the top of which being provided with atube, 1', which tube projects into'tl1e inside of the case 7:. Into this tube 6 is inserted an endless match, j.

The top of this tube i is provided with'a slot, for

theconvenience of raising the match j, when required to be lighted.

This tuber. is further'provided with a cover, k, which keeps the match j,.when not in use, perfectly safe and secure.

Formed in the end of the tube 1, inside of r the case It, is a female screw, which corresponds in size and finish with the male screw, formed on the WIck tube i, which, by this arrangement, when the lamp 1s not required to he used, the match-case h and lamp (1 are secured together.

Our improved device being thus constructed, of the required size and shape, and its several parts being adjusted in position, is then ready forfuse.

The operator in using the same, separates the lamp v a from the case h-,'he then removes the cap, k, from the match-tube i, striking the same, which lnstantly ignites the same, he then lights the wick e and we find, with the use of our improved device, the oil and match, and in fact all the parts, being encased in a metallic case, which, when thus arranged, being compact, isa very useful device, for travellers especially,

and can be carried in the pocket without'auy danger whatever of damaging the clothes.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ise j The arrangement and construction of the lamp a with or without the chimney 9, case b, match-tube with cap k, when operating as described and specified.

- Also, in combination with the lamp a, the match j, with case h, when arranged as described. AMOS P. FOSTER. DANIEL BL H. BARTLETT.
